I wear flip flops once a year. I just want to go to Hawaii. I don't really wear flip flops. Oh, nice guys. I don't like the toe divider. I like slides. You know slides. I like slides. Yeah, you like those better? I fuck with slides. Yeah, I just can't do flip. I don't like the toe divider. Weird me out. That's where you draw the line, huh? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, what's better? What's better, Jamie? You like slides. Slides? I don't wear it. Yeah, if I did, I probably wear slides. A lot of dudes will rock slides with white socks. Yes. And like serious dudes, like guys who go to the gym, like muscular young guys. Yep. There were slides and socks and they'll go wandering about. It's comfy. If you ever wore flip flops and socks and you went out, people would smack you. There's a difference. For some reason. Some guys can. Yeah, but for some reason, slides and socks is acceptable where flip flops and socks are not. Well, because then you do the Ninja Turtle toe. You can't do the socks with the flip flops because then your toe gets divided and then it looks really weird. But isn't that strange? Yeah, well, it looks ridiculous. The secure, though, the both ridiculous. We're in slides and socks. It looks ridiculous. Now it makes sense to me. But at least it looks casual, right? Slides and socks is just, I don't need to wear shoes, man. I just slip my socks in these and go to the fucking grocery store. I'm going to go run over there real fast. You can go to the grocery store with slides on and socks. I go to the bank. No one will say nothing. Nope. Why would they? You can go to the bank. Yeah. I do small errands with slides and socks on. Well, especially a guy like you. You're a successful comedian. You make a good living. Like, you're not poor. It's not like this is the only pair of shoes you have. This is a choice. Yeah, I've made an obvious choice. You pull up in your Mercedes. I don't have a Mercedes. I don't have a Mercedes. I'm looking at it right now. No, no, I don't have a Mercedes. I bought a, yeah, I bought a, I'm giving back to the environment. I bought, I have a Yaris. I bought a Toyota Yaris. This is not true. No. You have a Mercedes. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. You're a bitch. White man with your fucking golden locks. Gucci slides are regular bullshit slides. I would never buy Gucci fucking, that's insane. You don't have Gucci? No, I buy the Adidas ones you can throw in the trash. Oh, is that why? Because if they get fucked up, they're like 20 bucks. You just buy a new... You're not into the Gucci? No, you of all people asking me that, you would never wear Gucci fucking slides. I have a pair of Gucci slippers that my wife bought me. How often you wearing those? I've wore them twice. Okay, exactly. She bought them a couple of years ago. They have tigers on the feet. You know this hype beast pervert over here. He'd wear it all the time. Oh, he loves it. Whoa, whoa. You love that bullshit pervert. You are. We're not your hogs. Hype beast pervert. He's a hype beast pervert. He gets... He comes on. He comes on. You like to jack off to cool hype beast shit. You know you do. Whoa. You don't? It's easy. It's not a line, sir. Jordans. Not wearing like whatever, a white t-shirt or whatever. I'm not saying that. I saw, what is that guy's name? Philip Plein. How do you say it? Who's that? He's the guy that got in trouble because they took pictures. He took pictures of his sneakers. He didn't get in trouble, but Ferrari got angry at him because he has a Ferrari and he took pictures of his sneakers sitting on his Ferrari. So what? And Ferrari said that they send him like a cease and desist saying that he's damaging their brand. His car. He's a sneaker guy. Philip Plein. Yeah, Plein, I see. How do you say it? Is it Plein? Yeah, you're right. So there was a big controversy because like, hey, he bought your fucking $300,000 car. He should be able to take a picture of his sneakers on your car. Like set it on fire if he feels like it. His, it was something about his lifestyle that the lifestyle that he promotes, but the lifestyle that he promotes is just his hot girlfriend and him and they're wearing clothes. How do they know? There's nothing crazy. Who do you think buys Ferraris? This is it. So yeah, that's a dope color for that. Is a beautiful fucking color. I've never seen a green Ferrari threatens to sue. Do that as a, that makes me want to make a Ferrari that color. That's a dope color. Yeah. Okay. Tarnishes the reputation of Ferraris brands and causes Ferrari further material damage. That's his behavior. They'll lose that lawsuit. Farrar's letter to Plein also says that he was using Ferrari's trademarks for the promotional purposes of increasing his own brand and products visibility. Again, the cars pictured are Plein's own. Ferrari is essentially claiming that Plein is harnessing its iconic imagery to bolster his own brand and also denigrate Ferraris. How is it denigrating Ferraris though? Scroll back up. It's just a dope looking color Ferrari and some pretty fucking cool sneakers. Those are cool. I don't understand how that's denigrating the brand. Who do they think is buying fucking Ferraris? Do they have this idea that it's Harvard grads that are buying Ferraris? Well, some of them are Harvard grads. I think most people that buy Ferrari didn't go to Harvard. Do me a favor. I want to see a full picture of his green Ferrari. I remember we looked at this before. Those pictures have been taken off Instagram. So like, Oh, but to see if you can just find his green Ferrari, because I know that motherfucker, he's got a green Ferrari. He takes a lot of pictures of it. There's no way that's the only picture of his dope green Ferrari. You would assume Ferrari's brand is to promote people who are like self made money making. That's what this guy is, right? He's needed to say. There it is. Is that it? Is that, is there any other ones? I have a problem. Are there photos of it? Yeah. See, it's just all his girlfriend looking hot and him looking sexy. And here's a dope car. It's a Lambo. Yeah. Here's my gold Lamborghini. Dope. Here's my fucking gold plane jet. It's got a gold jet. That's hilarious. It might be.
